    6 Son of WeBWorK - TODO list
    7 
    8 DONE	write template file from what we drew on the board
    9 DONE	normalize files:
   10 		- (c) header on all files
   11 		- standard order of preamble lines:
   12 			1. (c) header
   13 			
   14 			2. package PACKAGENAME;
   15 			
   16 			3. short summary of the package (pod's NAME section)
   17 			
   18 			4. use - pragmatic modules
   19 			5. use - standard perl modules
   20 			6. use - CPAN modules
   21 			7. use - webwork modules
   22 		- ALWAYS use strict and use warnings
   23 		- use "use base" rather than "our @ISA"
   24 		- no warnings or errors!
   25 		- (later on) POD documentation for all files
   26 DONE	fix templating code in ContentGenerator, add new escape functions
   27 DONE	implement the new template
   28 DONE	finish ProblemSets and ProblemSet
   29 	
   30 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   31 
   32 DONE	New interface to PG.pm
   33 	DONE	- instead of it accessing the database directly, accept $user,
   34 		  $set, and $problem as arguments (instead of $setName, etc.)
   35 	DONE	- UPDATE PG.pm'S DOCS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
   36 	DONE	- Fix Problem.pm and Hardcopy.pm to work with the new interface
   37 	
   38 	Hardcopy generation
   39 	DONE	- ad-hoc version of &latex2png in Hardcopy.pm (move later)
   40 	DONE	- fix code (heh heh)
   41 	DONE	- fix hardcopySetHeader
   42 	
   43 	Integration of dvipng method of image generation
   44 	N/A	- choice between writing to a temporary TeX file from within
   45 		  dangerousMacros, or queueing the equations up in RAM and
   46 		  passing them out to the caller (via PG_flags?) who will then
   47 		  call &latex2png
   48 	DONE	- write tempfile from dangerousMacros
   49 			- PRO: gets it out of RAM
   50 			- PRO: no dependancies between equations
   51 			- CON: have to coordinate between latex2png and
   52 			       dangerous macros for tempfile locations
   53 	FORGET	- queue equations in RAM
   54 			- PRO: all file access and external calls happen
   55 			       outside of the safe compartment.
   56 			- PRO: latex2png gets to decide where to put files
   57 			- CON: stuff sits in RAM
   58 			- CON: uses a package array to queue equations :p
   59 
   60 DONE	display of screen set header in ProblemSet.pm (easy)
   61 DONE	add <!--#if can="blah" warning="1" error="1"-->
   62 DONE	fix alignment of displaymath images
   63 DONE	print $pg->{header_text} in head of Problem.pm
   64 DONE	remove "set" and "prob" from URL generation, remove s/^(set|prob)//;
   65 DONE	remove webwork-dvipng-xxxxx temp directories when finished with them
   66 DONE	make "enter" on the problem form trigger "submit answer", not "redisplay"
   67 DONE	handling of PG warnings (?!?!?!?!)
   68 DONE	time logging
   69 DONE	test transaction logging
   70 DONE	make static images work
   71 DONE	make GD-generated images work
   72 DONE	make HTML links work
   73 DONE	make images in PDFs work
   74 DONE	remove dependancies on Global:: from send_mail_to
   75 DONE	preview button in Problem
   76 DONE	handle PG errors (and warnings) in Hardcopy
   77 DONE	have logout button invalidate key
   78 DONE	Options - email address and password
   79

  135 IO functions (dependancies on other IO functions are not listed)
  136 
  137 all variables in the global namespace should be replaced with items in the
  138 %envir hash. all functions that access the envir hash need to be evaluated
  139 from within the safe compartment (i.e. &unrestricted_eval'd).
